If you could be somebody else, who would you be?

Asked by hungertoragejr (266points) January 12th, 2010

We all have dreams and fantasies of being a sports star, rock star, actor, doctor, etc. As a child I always dreamed of being the lead singer in a band. Of course my life has not turned out that way so far, but I still sometimes close my eyes and see myself as that person. When you close your eyes, how do you see yourself?

Depends on the day.

days like today? Chuck Lidell, Brock Lesnar.

Bad days? The Uni-bomber or the one behind the Bodom Lake murders.

Good days? George Clooney, Pearce Brosnan, Paul Walker.

Anyone who is young and rich. I envy them the most. Most people work their asses off and don’t make a lot of money until they’re much older and can’t do the same things they could do when they were young. So in my opinion, being young and feeling invincible along with having the unlimited, liberating freedom of having a lot of money would be better than anything.

I’m kind of smitten with my own self, but on more than one occasion I have thought about how fun it would be to be Tina Turner. ... just for a day or two… I mean Tina Turner!!!

I have actually thought about this question to myself before… and although I have had thoughts of being other people if I could be, or actually being someone different than who I am, I always come back to the same conclusion: I would ultimately want to be me. Had I never been me, I would not have expereienced all the great joys of my life, nor the great sorrows, and would not have become who I am today… the person who is able to still dream about being someone or something other than who I am, but still who I am.

Hayden Panettiere, because she reminds me of myself, but she is successful, and an animal activist. But for looks probably Megan Fox, or Mischa Barton. I think they are both really pretty. I’ve been told by lots of my friends I look like Mischa but I look NOTHING like Megan Fox. Although I don’t really admire them.

Why would I want to be anybody else? I want to be myself, but with somebody else’s talents. Only not really, because it wouldn’t be any fun if I didn’t do it myself. Nor would I value it. I would like to be able to bring more light into people’s lives. I would like to be seen as a wise person. I would like to be able to earn a living sharing my thoughts. I would like to be on stage and talk and make music and to be able to really touch people deep inside. I would like to be able to believe I could do these things. I would like to be able to be a person I accept as perfectly being who he is and that is not a matter for scorn or pain or self-hatred.
